A NOTE ABOUT PRESSURE COOKING
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR OSTER
RAPID MULTIOOKER
Pressure cookers generate steam in order to build pressure. Liquid is needed to
create steam. So in order for your Oster Rapid Multicooker to build enough pressure
to cook your meal, there needs to be enough liquid in the pot to boil and generate
steam. One cup or 8 oz of liquid (it can be water, chicken broth, etc.) is usually
enough liquid to successfully build pressure. If your recipe is too thick or doesn’t
have enough liquid in it, then you will receive an E6 Notification Code during the
cooking cycle. Align arrows on lid rim and heating base to ensure lid is aligned
correctly.
1. Remove the Lid by turning lid handle clockwise to unlock, aligning with
. Remove the Sealing Gasket from the Lid and wash the gasket and the
Lid in warm soapy water. Dry the Sealing Gasket and Lid thoroughly before
reattaching the Sealing Gasket to the Lid. Ensure the Sealing Gasket is
smoothly and securely in place in the Gasket Fixing Ring. If the Sealing Gasket
is not in the correct position the Lid will not be able to form a seal and will not be
able to pressurize.
2. Remove the Cooking Pot and the Condensation Collector and wash in warm,
soapy water. Dry thoroughly before replacing back in the Cooker.
The Oster Rapid Multicooker has been designed with safety in mind and has various
safety measures.
1. Pressure will not build if the Lid is not locked correctly and has not sealed.
Ensure gasket is locked properly by matching up the gasket tabs to the slots at
each end inside the lid.
2. Ensure the Lid is in the locked position and the lid handle icon is aligned with
. Align arrows on lid rim and heating base to ensure lid is secured.
3. Pressure will not build if the Steam Release Dial has not been switched to the
“Seal” position.
CAUTION: When in the “Seal” position, please note steam may still be
released from the Steam Release Valve on the Lid to regulate the proper
amount of pressure for cooking. Always keep face and hands clear of Steam
Release Valve.
4. Over filling may cause a risk of clogging the valves and developing excess
pressure.
5. The gasket and the valves can be removed for cleaning (see pages 23-26).
6. Once the pressure increases, the Lid should not be opened. Safety sensors
ensure the pressure remains within the set range. Never force the Lid open.
7. The Steam Release Dial is located on the front of the Lid, designed to keep
the hand away from the Steam Release Valve when releasing pressure. The
Steam Release Valve is designed to be loose-fitting for proper operation. See
RELEASING PRESSURE instructions on pages 13-14.
8. The pressure cooking functions require liquid to work. If the inside of the

Cooking Pot does not have enough liquid, a notification will appear on the
Display Screen. See NOTIFICATION CODES chart on page 28.
9. At the end of cooking, the Lid should not be unlocked until all the pressure is
released, and the Bobber Valve has dropped completely. This can be done
using the Natural Pressure Release Method or Quick Pressure Release Method,
explained on pages 13-14.
10. The Time Selection Buttons (+ and -) are used to set the cooking time. To
advance slowly, simply press the + or - button and release. To advance quickly,
press and hold the + or - button. If you have passed the desired time, simply
press the opposite button to return to the desired time.
NOTE: The timer can be selected for all programs and can be changed at any time
during cooking by pressing START/STOP and selecting a new function.
11. The TEMP/PRESSURE button is used to select desired cooking temperature
or pressure (HIGH or LOW). The Display Screen will illuminate TEMP or
PRESSURE, depending on which setting is being adjusted.
12. The temperature may only be adjusted on the SLOW COOK, YOGURT, BOIL,
SIMMER, SAUTÉ and BROWN/SEAR functions (see the Cooking Guide on
page 16 for available adjustments).
13. Each pre-set pressure cooking function automatically selects the optimum
pressure for that selection, but it can be manually selected with the TEMP/
PRESSURE button (see the Cooking Guide on page 16 for available
adjustments).
14. The START/STOP button starts and stops a cooking function. It must be
pressed to change from one cooking function to another after cooking has
begun.
15. The Display Screen shows how much longer the food needs to cook from the
selected time in hours and minutes once the Cooker is preheated. While the
Cooker is preheating, the display screen will show, "HEAT".
16. The Status Bar tracks the pressurization progress when using a Pressure
function, and the preheat progress when using a Traditional function before
cooking begins.
GETTING STARTED
(NOTE: The Cooker beeps as each button is pressed.)
1. Add desired ingredients to Cooking Pot. Place Lid on top of Cooker and align
with . To lock, twist lid handle counterclockwise, aligning with .
2. Turn the Steam Release Dial to the “Seal” position if pressure cooking. The
Steam Release Dial should be in the release position when using the SLOW
COOK and YOGURT functions. Do not place the Lid on when using BROWN/
SAUTÉ, SIMMER, or BOIL.
3. Plug Power Cord into a wall power outlet.
4. Select the cooking function you would like to use.
5. The START/STOP button and the time on the screen will flash.
